"Contrary to rumour, sometimes I can be quite a laugh. I think as I have got older, I have got a bit more relaxed, although you might not think that if you heard me screaming at my kids," Beckham told The Guardian.

Speaking of daughter Harper's birth, she said: "Stopping work wasn't an option. I spent the whole summer with my boobs out, breastfeeding. It was heaven. I was travelling back and forth to London all through the pregnancy.

"I got home from the final trip on the last day that the doctor had given me permission to travel. I was so pregnant that when I landed at LAX they tried to put me in a wheelchair. Can you imagine? I was like, I don't think so, thank you very much."

She added: "She's such a good baby. I love all my children exactly the same, of course, but the boys were hard work. They had colic, they had acid reflux. They never slept. Brooklyn screamed at the top of his lungs, every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day.

"The kids are so happy in LA. Brooklyn especially has been moved around a lot, from Manchester to Spain to LA, and that's hard for a kid. David and I both love what we do, and from a career point of view Paris really appealed to both of us, but in the end the children's happiness comes first."
